ENGLAND LIMITS EDUCATION To Americans, who lae for grant ed that every child is entitled to a free high school education if he wishes it, the situation in England disclosed by the controversy over "circular 1421" must seem little short of shocking. Circular 1421 was issued recently by the national board of education, the president of which is a member of the British cabinet, to accompany the new draft regula tions for secondary (high) schools. At first it attracted little attention and then its importance was discov ered suddenly by magazines and newspapers opposed to the present National government. Free public high school education on the scale that has long existed in the United States, of course, has never been known in England. The sons of well-to-do English families traditionally have been sent to pri vate schools, like Eton and Harrow, and their daughters to similar insti tutions for girls. The public high schools generally have charged tui tion fees, but a relatively small num ber of the children of parents not so well off have been provided with "free places" in recent years. A few cities had even abolished foes and the tendency has been to make in creasingly liberal provision for free schooling. But now comes circular 1421. In effect it is proposed, according to the Manchester Guardian, to sweep free secondary education out of existence, as it is known in the few cities that have abolished fees; to raise the fees generally through out the country, and to impose a "means test" on all children still to be admitted to the free places that are left. In other words, after the new regulations go into effect, par ents who wish to send their children to public high schools in England NOTICE TO CREDITORS State of Nebraska, County of Cass, ss.

DUXBURY, (Seal) o24-3w County Judge free of charge must prove that they are too poor to pay tuition. These changes are to be made for the sake of economy, but the New Statesman remarks that the desire to econo mize in education is the "meanest kind of conservatism." A high school teacher from Birm ingham, England, who has been in this country studying secondary edu cation remarked that her colleagues did not understand how the United States could afford to provide sucn schooling for every child. But there are Englishmen who are beginning to wonder whether their country can afford not to, in view of the na tion'e well-being and efficiency. -lot- Using various type3 of revolvers and automatic pistols, the New York police department has never failed ytt to riddle every "bullet-proof" vest that has been submitted to it for a test.

H&HDESL THESIS SHI!?, Plattsmoutb, Ncfcr. w 1 1 - x Copyright, 1931, Tfct B. F. Goodrich BitUc Ctmtua A New York Judge, granting a receivership for a big eastern real es tate and bond concern whose papei .as spread all over the country, in dicates that thre were glaring prac tices of concealment from those whose money was drawn in. The company advertised itcelf as a first mortgage real estate bond house, a claim that has a familiar ring and is meant to inspire confi dence. Then it Issued "general mort gag3 bonds" based on other than first mortgages on real estate. The public bought, not understanding :Le "general mortgage" idea as prac ticed by this house. Further, it is charged, the house in the whoop-la days of 192S and 1929 cold hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth, perhaps millions ot dollar v;Qrth, of real estate bonds based on mortgages on'.v.lich inter est1 had not been paidand on prop erty for which the taxes were in de fault. "It ,is. tragical," EayV the court, "to compare. the practices as engaged in ty the defendants with the glow ing representations of good faith ret forth In the particular, circular . is' rued by. the defendant w hlch saye : 'We regard cur interests as ideuti cal wUh .the interests of our clients, We represent the investdr, ' not the borrower." Again,, how familiar this sounds. We heard similar " statements from the lips of Samuel Insull and Mar tin J. Insull. Put In your money and it i3 rafer than if you kept it your self. That was the argument. Now that it is caught, what is the answer of this bond and real estate house? That it was under no obli gation to make, disclosures unless prospective buyers ' asked specific questions. That is not the British idea of re sponsibility. Lord Kylsant, peer and Fhipplng magnate, has Just come out of prison after having served a term for failing to tell English investors the true condition of companies for which he sought financial support. He did not falsify in so many v.oras he just did not tell. That ought to be the standard in this country, and It will be. The practice of concealment has been widespread and is largely responsible for the great loss that investors now suffer. It I3 exactly thi9 thing that Governor Roosevelt referred to in his Columbus speech. He would use full publicity and government super vlion to prevent "the fooling of sen ible people throgh misstatements and through the withholding of in formation on the part of private or ganizations, great and small, which seek to sell investments to the peo ple."
